Hints: If you look up etymology of dictionaries, you would find the origin of words to confirm (or otherwise) your answers. Latin is generally considered one of the ancestors of the French language, so words of Latin origin are not considered "borrowed" words. Here are some words whose etymologies are as given by \(Le Petit Robert\). Hope they help you decide which words are borrowed. Sandwich: • 1802; mot \(angl.\) (1762) menu: 1080; \(lat.\) minutus, de minuere « diminuer »  quiche: • 1807; adapt. \(alsacien\) Küchen « gâteau », all. Kuchen  crêpe: • XIIIe; cresp adj. XIIe; \(lat.\) crispus « frisé »  gateau: • gastel, wastel XIIe; probablt \(frq.\) °wastil « nourriture »  Note: \(frq\)=francique, a dead language belonging to the group of Germanic languages, spoken by the Francs.
